Noobie Foodie│Ramen Ikkyu

HI FRIENDS!

Ramen is one of my serious favourite foods! And it's one of the main reasons why I miss Japan so so so much!! So recently I decided to (finally) try Ramen Ikkyu in Sussex food court. Needless to say I was really excited to try it! And it definitely didn't disappoint me at all!

RAMEN TIME!

♣

Here comes the fooddddd

Ikkyu Miso Ramen

I ordered the Ikkyu Miso Ramen ($11.50) because I like a lighter soup plus a bit more vegetables in my ramen. IT WAS AWESOME! The meat was so flavoursome, soft and tender! The highlight for me was the egg - it was literally onsen tamogo perfection! Deliciously runny egg york combined with the light miso soup AHHH HEAVENLY RAMEN!

EGG PORN - my favourite type of porn!

I love the egg!! Seriously I want to learn how to make such amazing eggs!

Tokyo Soy Ramen!

My friend who was trying ramen for THE FIRST TIME EVER ordered the Tokyo Soy Ramen ($11.5) which had char siu pork with 1 WHOLE EGG! (I'm so jealous because she got more egg action than I did...clearly need to order this next time) and nori seaweed on the side! She loved this ramen! YESH successfully converted! YAY!

Location: ★★★★☆

Super duper easy to find! It's in Sussex center in Chinatown in the heart of the city! The only concern is if going during peak hour times it's a little bit messier and difficult to find a seat (being a food court and all)! But otherwise it's really easy to find!

Menu: ★★★★☆

The menu has all the essentials! RAMEN and curry options as well! What more can I ask for??

Taste: ★★★★★

I LOVED IT! SOOO MUCH! THE EGG WAS JUST AMAZING! The noodles of course was firm and fresh! My slight bias is that ramen is one of my favourite foods! But if it can convert someone who never tried ramen into liking ramen then Ikkyu is definitely doing something right! I WANT MORE EGG!!

Price: ★★★★☆

Not the cheapest ramen I've ever had but it was definitely worth the money! PLUS Ikkyu offer FREE KAEDAMA which means you can get an additional serving of noodles!! Don't finish your soup and you can almost get an extra meal! Of course my friend and I were both too full to get the free refills! But for all the boys/big eaters out there - GO FOR IT!

Overall: ★★★★☆

It was a really satisfying meal and served relatively quickly! Although it was a pretty noisy and messy environment it was sooo worth it for the food!! I honestly cannot wait to go again! Such a delicious ramen meal!! Now I'm craving ramen after writing this post.. DAMN IT!
